Creating a Screened Area

Another technique to make a "cleared" area for text involves using a screen. This is a very traditional print process, but it works well for video as well. Let's use the same image we had open for our last example.

Step 1. Use (or open) the file Ch11_BG_Market.psd from the DVD-ROM.

Step 2. With the Rectangular Marquee, draw an area for your text (often referred to as the text block).
